Iran claims victory, says it forced US to accept 10-point plan

I mean… Yeah. Trump caved in quicker than the titan submersible

This whole debacle was a rousing success. The question is for whom. It wasn’t a victory for the US citizens writ large. It wasn’t a win for any NATO allies. It wasn’t a win for the vast majority of the people in the world.

There’s a few people/groups we can assume did win: - The wealthy: they were given insider trading info and made billions - Iran’s leadership: they have come out regionally stronger - Israel’s government: they got to genocide more Lebanese, Palestinians, Syrians, and Gazans under the cover of a regional war. - The inside circle in the executive branch that weren’t outright fired

It’s mostly an insider trading game at the expense of lives, money, and the US’ sitting on the geopolitical stage. This is all part of the smash and grab stage of this presidency.

As part of the plan, the US has in principle agreed to lift all primary and secondary sanctions against Iran and to withdraw US combat forces from all bases in the region, the council said according to state media.

Yeah… none of this will happen. I hate Trump and this illegal war is abhorrent. That said, if you take Iranian state media at face value I have a bridge to sell you.

No other nation on this planet could be harming America more than Donald Trump and the Republican party.

They are traitors. Plain and simple. They are our enemy.

Ah, TACO Tuesday.

Failed business man surprisingly fails as president. What a surprise.

i thought Iran cancelled this ceasefire and the Straits of Hormuz are closed again, because the shithead Israelis bombed and murdered more Lebanese.

Iran also gets to charge every tanker that goes through the Strait $2,000,000 (they’ll split it with Oman, who has the other side of the Strait), in order to rebuild everything that got bombed, but I’m sure that toll will go on pretty much forever. So gas supplies may slowly start to recover, but prices won’t. We’re going to be paying higher prices for gas, energy, any goods that need to be moved, anything made of plastic, and anything that needs fertilizer to grow, for a long time.

“United States to accept in principle its 10-point plan”

The “in principle” is importent here. Saying Iran won at this point is like saying you got a good deal before you finish haggling the price. Plus one of the points relies on Israel stopping it’s attacks on Lebanon. Unless the US is willing to force Israel to stop, I doubt they will. Israel says” the ceasfire dosn’t apply to Lebanon”.

Went about as well as one would expect when a war is run by two massively-unqualified TV show hosts who paid smarter people to write their term papers.

Have you heard that the straight of Hormuz is closed again after the latest round of bombing again?

They will get everything they want.

This is the best possible outcome, and humiliating for the USA

… it’s too good to be true, in my opinion

Something something art of the deal.

My prediction is that it’ll come out that the Trump Administration was negotiating with Ahmed Chalabi the whole time.

Nobody won here

Art of the deal

As much as Trump is the most stupid person alive, I don’t believe any word of this. Of course every side claims total victory. It’s pretty clear the US lost in the long run and this war was a total disaster, but what is claimed here will never happen.

What a loser.

Press X to doubt but this is just so believable…

(sigh) It’s not gonna be a ceasefire, because Israel doesn’t know the meaning of the word.

Note: The Trump administration states that this is fake, however it is getting plenty of coverage from Middle Eastern news outlets.

Statement issued by the General Secretariat of the Supreme National Security Council of Iran:

The noble Iranian people must know that, by the blessing of the jihad of their sons and their historic presence on the battlefield, the enemy has been begging for over a month to halt the fires of Iran and the fierce resistance. However, the country’s officials, due to a decision made from the outset mandating the continuation of the war until the objectives are achieved—including driving the enemy to regret and despair and removing the long-term threat from the country—have rejected all such requests, and the war has continued until this day, which marks the fortieth day. Moreover, Iran has rejected several deadlines proposed by the President of the United States up to this point and continues to affirm that it attaches no importance to any type of deadline set by the enemy.

Today, we herald to the great Iranian people that most of the war’s objectives have been nearly achieved, and that your brave sons have driven the enemy into a historic paralysis and permanent defeat. Iran’s historic decision, backed by the full consensus of the people, is to continue this battle as long as necessary, until its great achievements are solidified and new security and political equations are imposed in the region based on the recognition of Iran’s power and sovereignty and that of the Resistance Axis.

In this context, and in accordance with the directives of the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, His Eminence Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Khamenei (may God protect him), with the approval of the Supreme National Security Council, taking into account Iran’s and the Resistance Axis’s superiority on the battlefield, the enemy’s inability to carry out its threats despite all its claims, and its official acceptance of all the legitimate demands of the Iranian people, it has been decided to hold negotiations in Islamabad to finalize the details, with the stipulation that within a maximum period of 15 days, Iran’s victory in the field is also politically solidified through the negotiations.

In this framework, Iran, while rejecting all proposals put forward by the enemy, has prepared a 10-point plan and submitted it to the American side via Pakistan, emphasizing key points, including: organized passage through the Strait of Hormuz in coordination with the Iranian Armed Forces, which would grant Iran a unique economic and geopolitical position; the necessity of ending the war against all components of the Resistance Axis, meaning a historic defeat for the aggression of the Israeli entity; the withdrawal of U.S. combat forces from all their bases and deployment sites in the region; the establishment of a protocol for safe passage in the Strait of Hormuz that ensures Iran’s control in accordance with the agreement; full payment of compensation to Iran according to the assessments; lifting all primary and secondary sanctions and decisions of the Governing Boards and the Security Council; the release of all frozen Iranian funds and assets abroad; and finally, enshrining all these points in a binding resolution issued by the Security Council. It is worth noting that the adoption of this resolution will transform these understandings into binding international law and constitute a significant diplomatic victory for the Iranian people.

The Prime Minister of Pakistan has informed Iran that the American side, despite its apparent threats, has accepted these principles as the basis for negotiations and has submitted to the will of the Iranian people. Accordingly, it has been decided at the highest levels that Iran will enter into negotiations with the American side in Islamabad for a period of two weeks, and solely on the basis of these principles. It is emphasized that this does not mean the end of the war, as Iran will not accept its conclusion until the details of these principles are completed in the final negotiations.

These negotiations, with complete lack of trust in the American side, will begin on Friday, 21 Farvardin, in Islamabad, and Iran has allocated two weeks for them, extendable by agreement of both parties. During this period, it is essential to maintain complete national unity and to continue the victory celebrations with full force. These negotiations are national negotiations and a continuation of the battlefield, and it is necessary for the entire people, elites, and political currents to trust this process, which is managed under the supervision of the Leader of the Revolution and the highest levels of the system, to support it, and to strictly avoid any statements that incite division.

If the enemy’s surrender on the battlefield is transformed into a decisive political achievement in the negotiations, we will celebrate this great historic victory together; otherwise, we will continue the fight side by side until all the demands of the Iranian people are fulfilled. Our hands are on the trigger, and any minor mistake by the enemy will be met with a decisive and forceful response.

Does the US need to get a sponsor it can turn to for motivation when it feels like bombing a country again?
